In April of 2019, Katie decided to go to a party at her friend’s house. Little did Katie know that at this social event in Akron, she would run into her next adventure. This particular evening, there was a band of out of towners from Nashville supplying the musical styling for the event. Katie took a shining to one of the members and followed him around all night trying to decipher his sexuality; as he kept kissing the necks of his other band mates. Katie was sure he was gay and gave up trying to approach him until later that night, he approached her and struck up a conversation. Katie quickly found out he was in fact attracted to women and simply believed in showing physical affection to his friends. The two talked for endless hours that night. In the year to follow, the overly affectionate musician would go on to drag Katie all over the Midwest and the two practically became inseparable. During the next 5 years the two would find themselves parents of two beautiful cats named Sage and Monty, and settling down in Nashville, Tennessee.
